Viz finally announced their release of the JJBA part 4 manga! Set for a May 7 release. Preorders are up on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/2WChDs2 and Rightstuf: http://shrsl.com/1f9qk.

Since there's no Jojonium release for part 4 in Japan, I guess they decided to go with a different look for the cover? I kinda wish they'd tried to make it look more like the others but oh well...

Huh.. (checks wikipedia) and it is on it's 8th storyline now, and has been going since 1987? Impressive. (I mean, I watched the OVA when it came out back in 1993, so when I saw teens talking about it over the last few years I was impressed.)

Yeah, the TV anime that started up in 2013 was what finally got it to hit big in the US. Viz had previously only released Part 3, but they've been sloooowly getting the rest of the series released here. (It's still ongoing, too, yup! Araki now is so popular that he's allowed to just put out new chapters whenever he has the energy, so it's not a "monthly" title in Japan anymore.)

Seven Seas announced last night that they'll be releasing Shotaro Ishinomori's Gorenger manga next year! https://sevenseasentertainment.com/2020 ... hardcover/

This is great news, I thought they were giving up on their classic manga line because they basically said that the classics they've released so far didn't sell SUPER well...but I guess good enough to try again? So yeah, if you like Power Rangers/Super Sentai, be sure to pick this up next year!

Seven Seas announced that they'll be releasing the "Greatest Heists" Lupin III manga collection next year! https://sevenseasentertainment.com/2020 ... ollection/

This is basically a collection of some favorite Lupin III manga stories in one big omnibus. I'm excited to see ANY Lupin back in print, since it's been so long!!
